Join us for a one-off class on posture and the body with Georgina Rixon from Detail Dance as part of our Studio Discovery Days.
You will learn
Discover how to lengthen, strengthen, and relax your body with a blend of yoga, Pilates, ballet, and anatomical movement techniques. The class will guide you through:
- Recognizing the ‘physical landmarks’ of good posture.
- Understanding how muscles work together for improved mobility.
- Breathing techniques that support movement and relaxation.
The session begins with a gentle cardio warm-up, transitions into dynamic stretches and strengthening exercises, and concludes with breathing practices and guided visualizations to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
You will need
This class is best suited for individuals comfortable with the following movements:
- Walking or moving around with ease for an extended period (e.g. going for a walk).
- Holding simple yoga poses for up to a minute.
- Kneeling on all fours and standing back up (yoga mats will be provided).
- Balancing on one leg and rising onto your toes while holding a barre to aid balance.
Please wear comfortable gym wear that is tight enough for Georgina to see and correct your movements during the class. No outdoor shoes are allowed in the dance studio, so please wear ballet/jazz shoes or go barefoot. We recommend tying long hair back and avoiding dangly jewellery.
